Brake pads EBC or Duralast
I installed the same pads, much better than the OEMs. If you want you also don't have to reinstall the pad clips. The thin brass looking things. Not installing them makes it easier to see your pads and how much meat you have left. Also makes changing pads much quicker. The negative is that you might hear your pads rattle a little at first. I haven't noticed after the first couple of days.
EBC green stuff with EBC sport rotors if I remember correctly. They were easy to install and they've been great for about 5 years now.
I’m running nicer blank rotors with EBC yellowstuff pads currently. It’s super nice when they’re all warmed up, but they are a bit dusty
I call complete bull shit with oem break pads they are trash iv gone Thu!! the red yellow stuff pads yellow is okay… with rotors solid and drilled …… I’m saying this after owning 2 wrx,s and a shit ton of break issues for the best stopping ability and aggressive driving get slotted rotors EBC the best stoping is with out a doubt is the blue stuff pads and a set of Michelin s sport tires the only thing is you will need to do is drain you dot 3 brake fluid and use dot 4 because liquid moly it’s much higher temp boiling point because I do some serious canyon driving and boi do they get hot !!! At night my buddies have told me my rotors are glowing but non of them can stop like me!!! I’m telling you the best part is the break in is quick af and less rotor wear but down side is they get hot oh and get copper seal savers for the bleeers I have yet to set off my ABS from a 90 mph to complete stop slamming on my brakes
I’ll end this on saying absolutely worth the money.
I'm running the EBC HH on the MT07, it's a much better pad than OEM, more braking power but still work well for everyday.
They took a while to really bed in properly but they are a very solid option.
I put EBC Greenstuff and EBC discs on it, overkill brakes but nice as they are a lower dust pad, and that's after I warped the OEM and Delphi discs with it.
Swap the factory pads for EBC Red Stuff and buy a gallon of Adam's Wheel & Tire cleaner. The EBC pads still give off dust, but it's not as much as the stock pads and it doesn't stick to the wheels as much either.
Replaced the rears with Duralast Elites today. They are a bit louder (you can hear the pad dragging on the rotor inside the car). Maybe they will not be as loud as they break in.
I'm at 70k km and have changed only front braking pads so far. OEM braking pads and rotors suck. I've switched to EBC brakes brand based on the recs of my familiar Mazda owners and will never come back to the stock shit.
2023 Taos I'm at 25k miles and rear rotors and brakes need replacement. metal on metal destroyed the rotors.
